How do I heat-treat my 1075 or 0-1 Carbon Damascus billet?

Home » Frequently Asked Questions » How do I heat-treat my 1075 or 0-1 Carbon Damascus billet?

  1. Begin with your Damascus product wrapped as tightly as possible in .002 SST foil. Use double folds on all sides to ensure a tight seal.
  2. Preheat your furnace to austenitizing temperature – 1,475 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Place your wrapped piece in the furnace.
  4. Allow your furnace to cycle back up to austenitizing temperature.
  5. Soak your piece for a maximum of 5 minutes.
  6. Quench in oil until it stops smoking.
  7. Temper twice at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour each time.
